What does newton second per square meter measure?

It measures dynamic viscosity, representing a fluid’s internal resistance to shear in SI units.

When should I use micropoise units for viscosity?

Micropoise is suitable for reporting very low dynamic viscosities, especially in gases or rarefied fluids and microfluidics.

How many micropoise equal one newton second per square meter?

One newton second per square meter equals ten million micropoise (µP).
